    Hi,
    I have a magazine that I am redesigning with up, straight or down arrows next to the evolution of a stock, and right now I work wirth 3 different paragraphe styles. So if I have for example :
    -2.4% > i apply a paragraph style “down” that put as a bullet the down arrow (from wingding font)
    +0.3% > i apply a paragraph style “up” with the up arrow as a bullet
    0.0% > same but with horizontal arrow (or equal sign)

    I’m trying to find a clever way to only have 1 paragraph style (arrow) and the bullet changes based on the value (looking for the minus or + sign, then apply this character style). But that won’t work obviously because the bullet is not an attribute of a character style but a paragraph one.

    Any idea how else I could proceed to speed the process and not manually enter each paragraphe style?

    Thanks in advance for your ideas.

    If your paragraphs beginning with (+ & -) sign use this:

    in Find: ^[\x{2212}-][\d.]+
    in Change Format: paragraph style “down”

    in Find: ^[+][\d.]+
    in Change Format: paragraph style “up”

    in Find: ^[\d.]+
    in Change Format: paragraph style “horizontal arrow”
